#DIW2 – My yarn choice
I’ve finally decided which yarn I want to use for the Design Improv Workshop #2 scarf (#DIW2). Here it is – this lovely skein of Madelinetosh Merino Light.

The other day, a bunch of us decided to try the same thing, only with a crochet pattern. Our first attempt resulted in this cute, textured, drawstring bag. It turned out to be so much fun that we’re hoping to do it again soon! I started off with row 1 and finished with row 14. The following designers wrote…
